The document discusses reasoning, defining it as purposeful, controlled thinking involving cause-and-effect relationships. Reasoning is described as typical thinking that finds new relationships among recalled facts and involves symbolic mental exploration rather than physical exploration. Reasoning is distinguished from trial-and-error behavior and seen as a conative tendency driven by curiosity. Types of reasoning discussed include inductive, deductive, conditioned, and categorical reasoning. The process of reasoning is outlined as gathering data, combining and relating data, seeing implications, and testing conclusions. Strategies are provided for improving students' reasoning skills.
The term problem-solving refers to the mental process that people go through to discover, analyze and solve problems.
A problem can be defined as ‘where there is a need to bridge gap between a current situation and a desired situation”.
Broadly there are three types of problemdiagnostic problems – working out what’s gone wrong and fixing it – for example, a machine or a process isn’t working properly and needs to be fixed or improved design problems – identifying what needs to be done to create a new product or process and planning how to do itcontingency problems – resource planning and working with others to plan and manage a project, such as organising an event.Problems with personal or emotional relationships are not a problem although they often make for interesting scenarios.

Teaching is an immensely powerful activity. Teachers put their hearts and souls for this pious act but many a time, despite earnest challenging work, they fail to capture, the attention of the students. One of the reasons is ineffective communication skills. The other one is poor image. In this PPT both the descriptions are provided along with the war of selectivity.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. Reasoning: Definitions
• “Reasoning is a stepwise thinking with a purpose or goal in
mind” —Garrett.
• “Reasoning is the term applied to highly purposeful, controlled
and selective thinking”—Gates.
• “Reasoning is the word used to describe the mental recognition
of cause-and-effect relationships, it may be the prediction of an
event from an observed cause or the inference of a cause from
an observed event”—Skinner.
3. Reasoning: Characteristics
Reasoning is Typical Thinking:
• It thinks out a new relationship among the facts previously
observed and recalled at present.
• It is different from thinking of something, because it involves a
series of symbolic activities.
• When you reason, you call up some images, ideas or symbols,
which enable you to respond to absent stimuli.
• Thus, reasoning involves a sequence of symbolic activities
directed towards the solution of a problem, theoretical or
practical.
4. Reasoning: Characteristics
Reasoning is Mental Exploration:
• It finds a new relationship among the data perceived or recalled.
It is a substitute for motor exploration. Suppose, you have lost
your way in a new place. You may explore the different ways by
actual movements. Or you may sit down and think.
• You may explore the novel situation mentally and try to find out
a clue. By following one clue after another you may at last find
out the right way which will lead you to your destination.
5. Reasoning: Characteristics
Reasoning is Different from Trial-and-Error Behaviour:
• First, it does not involve motor exploration. The present
environment is not actually explored in reasoning. Secondly, the
leads to the goal are not always actually observed. They are
recalled from past experience. The clues are not actually
manipulated but thought out for the solution of the problem.
6. Reasoning: Characteristics
Reasoning as a Conative Tendency:
• McDougall holds that reasoning involves a conative tendency, a
desire to know the answer to a question, which may spring from
the instinct of curiosity. The desire selects the relevant material
to facilitate the drawing of the right conclusion. This selectivity
is an important factor of reasoning. It is the essence of
intelligent adaptation.
7. Reasoning: Types
Inductive reasoning:
• It is a specialized thinking aimed at the discovery or
construction of a generalized principle by making use of
particular cases, special examples and identifying of elements or
relations.
• For example, Mohan is mortal, Radha is mortal, Karim is
mortal; therefore, all human beings are mortal.
8. Reasoning: Types
Deductive reasoning:
• It is the ability to draw some logical conclusions from known
statement or evidences. Here one starts with already known or
established generalized statement or principle and applies it to
specific cases. For example, all human beings are mortal you are
a human being, therefore, you are mortal.
9. Reasoning: Types of Deductive
Reasoning
Conditioned reasoning:
• It is the reasoning tied down by some specific condition such as
the following.
• For example, if there is a solar eclipse, the street will be dark.
There is a solar eclipse
• ... The streets are dark.
10. Reasoning: Types of Deductive
Reasoning
Categorical reasoning:
• This type of reasoning is based on some categorical statements.
• For example, all Robins are birds.
• All birds lay eggs.
• ... All Robins lay eggs.
11. Reasoning: Types of Deductive
Reasoning
Linear reasoning:
• This type of reasoning involves straight forward relationships
among elements.
• For example, If Ram is taller than Mohan and Mohan is taller
than Sohan, Ram is the tallest.
12. Process of Reasoning
The process of reasoning contains the following parts:
(a) Gathering the data or facts or judgements.
(b) Combining the data or inter-relating them to one another.
(c) Seeing the implications of the combined data or drawing a
new conclusion from the combined data.
(d) Testing the conclusion so reached.
13. Improving Reasoning Skills in Sts.
• Pose thoughtful or insightful questions and intentionally allow
10–15 seconds of silence to elapse before calling on students to
respond. Cognitive science research has shown that a pause of
this length is necessary for the human brain to sufficiently
process a question and formulate a reasonable response.
14. Improving Reasoning Skills in Sts.
• Work from example to theory. Discuss the examples in the text
first, and then draw out the concepts they teach. This active
learning technique exercises students’ inductive reasoning skills
and promotes active engagement and inquisitiveness.
15. Improving Reasoning Skills in Sts.
• Use critical thinking vocabulary when posing questions to
students to reinforce conceptual understanding and promote
recognition of reasoning. Use the names of the skills and the
habits of mind that are found in the textbook. For example, use
phrases such as: “What is your reason for that claim?” “Let’s
interpret this statement,” “What inferences can we reasonably
draw from these facts?” and “Let’s be systematic in our
analysis.”
16. Improving Reasoning Skills in Sts.
• Acknowledge when students use critical thinking to promote
their self-awareness and recognition of reasoning (don’t forget
to use the critical thinking vocabulary). For example, use
phrases such as: “The claim you are making,” “The
inquisitiveness of this group was evident when,” “I agree with
your interpretation of,” and “In your analysis of.”
17. Improving Reasoning Skills in Sts.
• Avoid sloppy, misleading, and imprecise expressions such as:
“How do you feel about that?” and “What is your view of this?”
and even “What did you think of this?”
18. Improving Reasoning Skills in Sts.
Allow for different learning styles.
• Some children like to jump right in and mess around. Provide
these children with lots of open-ended materials to explore.
Other children are more comfortable watching an activity and
asking questions. Make sure there's plenty of time for them to
discuss what's happening.
19. Improving Reasoning Skills in Sts.
Stimulate children's curiosity and thinking skills.
Offer a range of intriguing manipulatives. For example, ask
children to compare colored rods by size and string beads to
create patterns. Point out cause-and-effect relationships. As they
add an egg to flour during cooking experiments, ask, "What might
happen next?" Use open-ended questions to support estimating
and predicting.
20. Improving Reasoning Skills in Sts.
Offer thinking challenges throughout the day.
• As children put away blocks and books during cleanup time,
encourage them to classify objects. Invite them to compare
quantities while playing in their classroom grocery store.
